Royal Ceylon Chrome

While the country formerly known as Ceylon was officially renamed as Sri Lanka in 1972, her tea is still marketed under the older moniker. Known for brisk, flavory character, Ceylon tea continues to set the bar for black teas globally. The Royal Ceylon press was designed and named to celebrate the country’s glorious tea story.

The Dutch East India Company introduced tea to Holland around 1602. It was shipped in wooden crates along with silk, spices and other products from Java (Indonesia) China and Japan. The Dutch love affair with tea continues to this day.
